Dedication

If it were only that simple. Technology has made certain things easier to accomplish, but it still comes down to whoever is pressing that button and how far they explore the potential of the medium and their chosen subject matter. Music played on an electronic organ may or may not sound soulful, depending on the musician. I suppose the same goes with photography. Recently, I read an article by a photographer who argues that digital pics "lack soul" compared to analog photography. And yet, it seems to me that digital pics can capture moments that resist this claim and tell stories that are moving to behold.
